Hi. I’m trying to optimize SEO for my homepage https://wta.nl/. I’m using the RankMath plugin. It works great with Enfold, but it keeps warning me that my keyword density is too high: Keyword Density is 7.65 which is high, the Focus Keyword and combination appears 29 times.. A too high keyword density can hurt my Google ranking, so I would like to lower it.
My focus keyword is ‘tekstschrijver eindhoven’ (Dutch words, means copywriter in the city of Eindhoven). It’s also the name of my website: ‘Tekstschrijver Eindhoven | Paul Welling’. When I look in my browser at the source code of my homepage, I indeed see 23 instances of ‘tekstschrijver eindhoven’ (so, not 29 as RankMath says, but in any case too much). I have 2 questions:
1) When I check each instance of ‘tekstschrijver eindhoven’ in the source code, I see that almost all instances are not part of the content, but part of the html coding of the page. So I can’t change it and therefore I can’t lower the keyword density. Is there a solution?
2) Two instances of ‘tekstschrijver eindhoven’ are alt texts for my logo. When I first uploaded my company logo in the Enfold theme, I added my website name ‘Tekstschrijver Eindhoven | Paul Welling’ as alt text for the image. I’ve already changed the alt text for that image, I’ve even deleted the image and uploaded a new image with a different alt text, but the old alt text ‘Tekstschrijver Eindhoven | Paul Welling’ keeps showing up in the source code. How can I delete this old alt text?
Hope you can help. I’ve added my login in the private field.
EDIT:
Oops, my bad. It seems that RankMath keyword density count is a bit bugged. When I removed the focus keyword in RankMath and added it again, the keyword density is suddenly too low. :-) Keyword Density is 0.26 which is low, the Focus Keyword and combination appears 1 times. So my first question is sort of answered, and the large number of keyword instances in the page source code are obviously not picked up by RankMath as keyword density instances.
Still, my second question remains.
Hey paulw185,
Thank you for the inquiry.
2.) By default, the site title is used as the alt text for the logo. To change it, please add the following code to the functions.php file:
function avf_logo_alt_mod($alt) { $alt = "New Alternate Text Here"; return $alt; } add_filter('avf_logo_alt', 'avf_logo_alt_mod');Best regards,
IsmaelHey @Ismael. I Understand. Thanks!
